procuring an abortion

Read a random definition: surface-damage clause

A quick definition of procuring an abortion:

Procuring an abortion means intentionally ending a pregnancy by artificial means. This can be done by the mother herself or with the help of a third party. There are different types of abortions, such as induced abortion, late-term abortion, partial-birth abortion, and therapeutic abortion. The legality of abortion has been a controversial issue, with the Supreme Court recognizing a woman's right to choose to end her pregnancy as a privacy right. However, states are allowed to limit this right by enacting legislation that prohibits public facilities or employees from performing abortions or severely limits the right to an abortion after a fetus becomes viable.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Procuring an abortion is the act of intentionally ending a pregnancy by artificial means, such as medication or surgery.

However, states are allowed to limit this right by enacting legislation that prohibits public facilities or employees from performing abortions, prohibits the use of public funds for family planning that includes information on abortion, or severely limits the right to an abortion after a fetus becomes viable.

There are different types of abortions, including:

These examples illustrate the different circumstances and methods in which an abortion may be procured. It is important to note that the decision to procure an abortion is a personal and often complex one, and individuals should have access to safe and legal options for their reproductive health.

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
